PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said, while referring to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, that even “giving an impression” of the result of the upcoming polls being pre-decided is “an insult to the people” of the country.

In a podcast interview with Talha Ahad, he said: “Even if that’s not true, just giving that impression is an insult to the people. […] Sure you have been the prime minister three times [but] tell us what you want to do.”

He criticised the former premier for “not campaigning” enough, saying it that affected the legitimacy of the upcoming general elections.
